6:27 pm
super bowl by changing the team's entire game plan just two days before the super bowl game itself. highly unusual, corroborated jerry rice as a matter of fact. why would he do such a thing? well supposedly because he was a close friend with john gruten who coached tampa bay the team that clobbered the raiders on that day. callahan actually hated the raiders says brown. the team that he coached. that was a bad day in raider history. and the maloof brothers have eventually put together a deal that will send the kings to seattle. but if you know anything about johnson he is not easily changed in his opinions. he wants the team to stay in sacramento. he approached supporters with his own plan for the team to
6:28 pm
stay in the capital. >> my goal is to get 13 people to come in at a million dollars. in three days we got 19 people to come in at $1 million. >> there still is hope and as yogi bear said it's not over until it's over. they may remain the sacramento kings after all. long way to go. >> yeah. >> that's the sporting life and you'll be happy to hear the sharks will play tonight. >> we were there last week when protest erupted in a hearing on whether to hire a consultant. we'll have a live update on the city council debate. >> and thank you for trusting ktv you -- ktvu channel 2 news. we are always here for you on ktvu.com and mobile ktvu.
